How To Talk About Your Honeymoon As A Couple
Honeymoon’s are your first family vacation. As such, the planning of your first family vacay should be of utmost importance. You want it to be special for the both of you, encompassing the type of experience you both are going to enjoy and cherish.
Traditionally, it is the bride’s job to plan the wedding, and the groom gets the responsibility of planning the honeymoon. I don’t know about you, but I’m not one for tradition to begin with. For my own wedding, I am happy to give up those planning reigns, but when it comes to the honeymoon, well, THAT is the thing I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl.
Regardless of who is in charge of the nitty gritty details, coming up with the overall experience that is going to suit you best should be something you discuss together.
Mr. Fiancé might see this is as the perfect opportunity for an adventure filled honeymoon, where the two of you spend your days zip-lining through rainforests, ATV’ing around volcanoes, and rappelling down waterfalls. At the same time, Mrs. Bride to Be has been daydreaming of is how many umbrellas she can collect during their week on a secluded beach in the Maldives.
Both are amazing experiences, but it’s probably best to get on the same page so you know what to expect — and what to pack!
I have created Honeymoon Experience categories that I like to discuss with couples looking to plan their ideal honeymoon and it starts with the type of questions you should be discussing. This will ultimately lead you to what destination and experience will suit you best.
